Special requirements

  • Male Territoriality

    Males can be aggressive toward one another; ensure the tank is large enough or limit the number of males.

  • Secure Lid

    Accomplished jumpers; a tight-fitting cover is mandatory to prevent escapes.

  • Breeding Management

    Prolific breeders (up to 80 fry). Use dense floating plants or a spawning box to protect fry from adults.
